First flight
If they are flying to Osh, first flight must be imminent. But i am sure the transponder will be “broken” . I guess they could get a floght test area that covers the whole area from Oregon to Wisconsin…..

Sounds like a deHavilland Dash-7  Although a plane that size, might take a career to build. |
Or...

15 - because 15
XV - also because 15.

They’re pretty capable. And not quite that high-maintenance hah.  we all feel super grateful and privileged to be part of what we get to do. We can handle a few extra syllables. |

"Oshkosh Traffic Vans RVee one five four one five Xray Victor niner miles south two thousand five hundred inbound estimated arrival circuit area one niner"

Unfortunately this is the type of transmission heard far too often.
The preferred response to this radio call would be, "Do you want fries with that?"
